Muslims riot as Christian wins Presidential election in Nigeria

[^_^ 5,021]

REUTERS - Violent protests erupted across Nigeria's largely Muslim north on Monday as youths angered at President Goodluck Jonathan's election victory torched churches and homes and set up burning barricades.

The vote count showed Jonathan, from the southern oil-producing Niger Delta, had beaten Muhammadu Buhari, a former military ruler from the north, in the first round.

Observers have called the poll the fairest in decades in Africa's most populous nation ... Results show how politically polarised the country is, with Buhari sweeping states in the Muslim north and Jonathan winning the largely Christian south.

...

A spokesman for Buhari said he had not yet made any statement on the disturbances.

So this is just revenge rioting for what might have happened had the vote gone the other way? Brilliant!

I don't know if that's the case or not, but of course if you're about to lose, you gonna think the elections are not fair, cause the country has no system, it's been in corruption for years, why all of a sudden the elections are fair ?

A leader won't solve the problems of the Nigerians
